Dave and Pete,
In addition to the default handle identifier, you can use an alternate
metadata field as the unique identifier for your updates by using the -i flag.
From the docs:
|-i|or|--itemidentifier| Specifies an alternate metadata field (not a
handle) used to hold an identifier used to match the DSpace item with
that in the archive. If omitted, the item handle is expected to be
located in the|dc.identifier.uri|field. (Optional)
No other metadata field is required in the dublin_core.xml file if you are just
doing bitstreams.
The documentation seems to have been reduced from the original.

Hi David,
Had to do this myself recently - used the following in dublin_core.xml:
<dublin_core schema="dc">
<dcvalue element="identifier"
qualifier="uri">http://example.org/handle/123456789/32</dcvalue>
</dublin_core>
With the command:
/dspace171/bin/dspace itemupdate -ep...@example.org -s
archive_directory -A
Regards Pete

Thanks in advance,
